MEET US
We are Upasana and Amlan, also known by our online monikers Acute Bear & Obtuse Llama respectively. We are mountaineers and adventure travel buffs on a mission to make travel content more informative and insightful. Join us on our journey of mistakes and blunders, discoveries and wonders.
Our Story
We are Upasana and Amlan. By degree, we are engineers from NIT Rourkela but by passion and now soo-to-be full-time profession, we are mountaineers and adventure travelers. Let us put that in a more appealing way – we’ve traded in our caps and gowns for climbing ropes and hiking boots.
Like most other adventurers, our journey began as a side gig, balancing our academics and our adventurous spirits. Whether it’s summiting majestic peaks, navigating dense forests, or simply basking in the wonders of nature, we have dedicated ourselves to capturing the essence of each experience.
Our Mission
At Acute Bear & Obtuse Llama, we embark on a relentless journey to unearth and share the world’s most remote and exhilarating adventures, with a passion for mountaineering at our core. Our mission is to infuse the spirit of exploration and discovery into the hearts of our viewers through the perfect blend of information and entertainment – we call it ‘infotainment.’
